Bugsy, Molly, and Loblaws

An extra large all black male rabbit named Bugsy.
Aprox 1-2 years old.
He is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle and does not bite. He prefers men and will take time to come to woman. He does come around he's just a little shy. He apparently came from a free roam house where he lived with two cats and was a Childs play toy. I don’t think he had any real interaction other than with the 3 year old and sometimes hides in the corner when meeting new people.

A small white with black spot female name molly.
She is aprox. 1-2 years old.
Very active and needs to be in a home with children over 8. Does not bite and loves pets but is shy at first. She came from a nice lady who’s roommate had abandoned her. The lady had been taking care of her but did not know that rabbits need time out of their cage, thus she sometimes displays cage aggression when a foreign hand reaches in. If you just take the top off she’s fine. She turned her over in hopes she would find a family willing to play with her and love her.

A medium black unaltered male named Loblaws (no name) likes to run around like a crazy dude.
He’s aprox. 2-3 years old.
He doesn't bite and comes for pets. He is better in a home with children over 10 who can respect that when he runs away he needs his space and not chase him. When he came to us about 5 months ago his nails were so long they were curling backward and he almost had to have the vet take them out. Luckily he is so calm he let us get a good look and we were able to cut them back. The people who dropped him off didn’t even know his name and told me they’d had him for a year.
He is not bondable at this time. Alteration may help with this. He plays well when separated by the cage bars. He is now a nice weight and loves to eat (and eat and eat).

Four rescued bunnies: Mama, Bonkers, Velvet, Peter

 

These bunnies have been found after thier owners moved out, and left them behind.

Mama, so named because she was the one who gave birth to the baby. Mama is a medium sized rabbit. She is black and white and she has, what looks to me, a broken ear. Her ear was like when we found her outside. I can pick her up, she has never bitten me or my kids. She is always hungry and she tips her feeding dish all the time. She also digs in her cage quite a bit.

Next is the baby who we have named, Bonkers. Bonkers is completely black, very soft and he has been handled since he was a baby. Bonkers was born in October, I think before Halloween. His father is here with me too and from what I gather, he is a velveteen rabbit, so Bonkers is half velveteen. Bonkers has never bitten us and likes to be held and pet.

The father rabbit is, from what I researched, a velveteen rabbit. He is white with a chocolate brown stripe down his back and some brown spots on either side, and his head is brown as well. We have named him Velvet because he is so soft. Velvet is the messier of them all but he might improve if he gets neutered. He loves to be held as well and again has never bitten anyone in my house. Velvet is not as big as Mama.

And last but not least is a little grey rabbit who we have named Peter (possibly a girl). Peter is a quiet little bunny, dark grey in color. She is smaller than the others (dwarf size). She seems to be friendly and has never bitten anyone but I don't think she likes to be held very much. She is a pretty clean rabbit, pooping and peeing in different corners.

If there is anyone out there in the Orleans/Ottawa area who is looking for a rabbit to adopt I hope that you will contact me at jenni.purr@hotmail.com.

Kikyo


Posting: Toronto area

November 26, 2007

Kikyo is a lovely little bunny in need of a new home. She is about 1 1/2 years old. She has been well looked after and up until recently was very loved by her human companion.

Unfortunately, a new pet came on the scene and now poor Kikyo is being ignored. From what I could tell, she seems to be a Netherland Dwarf.

The contact is Pamela,
and her number is 416-248-2337.
She lives in the Royal York and Eglinton area.

All of Kikyo's things are to go with her to her new forever home.

Hunny (Ganuch/Hunny) is a two and and half year old blue/gray Holland Lop.
Hi is litter trained, and his owners have e 2 cages for him: a small enclosed cage and a open large cage.
Hunny is very loveable, great with children but he is a chewer (needs bunny proofing). He does enjoy going outside when the weather is mild for exsercise but does not travel far. He is healthy.
Hunny is free to a great home.

If you are interested in Hunny, please call Lee at 416-992-4335 or e-mail the owners at leehuddleston@hotmail.com (with subject being Holland Lop)

Maple and Willow

Both bunnies are located about 10 minutes north of Brantford - (access from the 403), but arrangements can be made to meet you for the right home. More pics available via email.

 

April 3, 2006

These two adorable female rabbits are looking for homes together or separate. They have been living beside each-other for 4 years at an education centre. They seem to enjoy being neighbours, but can not be allowed to run loose together. Due to the changes in needs and staffing at the centre, we think that it would be best if they were placed in loving family homes.

Willow is what we call a "French Lop". She has short, dark fur and floppy ears. She is a happy-go-lucky girl, but prefers to not be picked up (as many rabbits do). She is litter trained and can be allowed to roam the room. Enjoys small treats! She is probably about 6 years old.

Maple is a half-Angora rabbit with beautiful fur that needs to be brushed once or twice a week. Maple is also litter trained and enjoys a daily hop-about. Her favourite snack is alfalfa hay to munch when she is in her cage. Maple is 4 years old.

Though it is not usually advised for rabbits, these girls are very accustomed to children of all ages and so could even be adopted as classroom pets by a knowledgeable teacher who would give them a quite corner for their cages (one or both) and would supervise all interaction with children. Litter boxes need to be changed every two days and cage cleaned about once a week.

If you want to adopt Maple or Willow, please call Kelly Schafer at 519-448-1248 (Brantford) or 519-823-1458 (Guelph).

Coco

I am a beautiful, cream and brown colored 4 1/2 year old female rabbit. I have had have a very good life so far. My owners have been very loving, kind and gentle with me and have trained me very well. I am friendly, toilet trained and love to eat. I do not fuss or bite. I am a little shy of people at first until I get to know them. I prefer to be in an adult home where
there are no children.
Presently, there are two children in my home which means I have to stay in my cage most of the time because they grab at me. I have been a little spoiled by my present owners and I am now more than a little overweight.
My owners moved from BC to Ontario in July and I traveled across country with them. I was a very good rabbit and traveled well. Unfortunately, when we arrived in Ontario they found that the new TH they would be living in was not very suitable for 4 adults, 2 children and a large rabbit. In addition, my owner has
developed asthma and needs to find a different living
arrangement for me. She is sad about having to relinquish her responsibility for me and is depressed
because she would like to have a good, loving home for me, like the one I had in BC.
I would like a home with someone who knows and loves to take care of rabbits. Because I am overweight, I need a sponge bath at least once a week to help keep me clean in areas I can't reach by myself.... Can you help?
